Wally12 submitted a new map: All Large Out of Map Canvases - Large out of map canvases for forging on Read more about this map...
My only question: Did you delete everything on the normal portion of the maps? I've seen many maps broken out of without doing that and having to figure out what items need deleting from menus isn't fun.
With the exception of Regret, Overgrowth, and Coliseum I did. I didn't for Regret and Overgrowth because they are smaller maps and their forgeable out of map canvases aren't as large, but I may go back and do it. Coliseum was just a bonus for the video. There's not much space to build other than in the small area under the map, so I left the items on that map as they are.
Oh thank god someone has finally compiled all of these in one place! I tried for hours to find good videos to follow along with but it was beyond frustrating! I've sent you a friend request sir, added your canvases to my bookmarks! I wish 343 would have had the brains to allow easy editing outside all the maps without these buggy tricks. How much processing power could airspace possibly use? It's empty space for peets sake! Well these are very welcome in the meantime, thankyou!
So small problem, on Eden the fx budget is almost entirely full. Also you can't bake lights whatsoever. Holding down on the dpad will just drop your spartan in as normal so I foresee some lighting issues ahead. I'm going to try a small map and see how far I can get before things start to look gross. If only 343 would release all the skyboxes as canvases without any terrain and open airspace, that would be sick!
I can't comment on the FX budget, as I didn't look at it. All I placed on the map was spawns, teleporters, and floors. I'm also not too familiar with light baking and all that jazz. I need to try and find a video that explains it all. 343i should have given us an in-game manual that thoroughly explains the new Forge. I also agree that it would be cool if 343i would release the skyboxes! There are some very cool ones with the maps they gave us.
